Transfer Admission Requirements

• Credit Evaluation Policy

  Evaluation of coursework is based on the following factors:

  • Credit must have been awarded at a regionally accredited institution.
  • A grade of C or better must be earned in each course considered for transfer.
  • Grades of P (pass) will only be accepted if there is documentation that the P is equivalent to a C or better.
  • Remedial courses or English as a Second Language courses will not be given credit toward graduation.
  • The university will not accept transfer courses completed more than seven years prior if such courses are central to the current knowledge and/or skills base of a program of study.
  • Students should refer to the Program Handbook for information on transfer credit policies specific to a particular professional degree program.
  • Students may appeal the transfer credit evaluation. The review of the appeal shall be based on course descriptions, outlines, objectives, learning outcomes and/or other relevant information.
  • Students must complete the minimum number of Regis College courses or credits (described above) to be awarded a bachelor’s degree.
  • Regis participates in Articulation Agreements with several two-year colleges to help facilitate the process of transferring between the institutions.
  • You can also contact Undergraduate Admission to help arrange an advising appointment with Transfer Student Advising.

• Reactivating Your Admission Application

  The Office of Undergraduate Admission at Regis College will reactivate a previous acceptance to Regis College, within two years of its original date of submission.

  To reactivate, an interested student must meet the following criteria:

  • Previously applied and was admitted to Regis but chose to attend another institution.
  • Previously applied and was admitted to Regis but have not taken any college-level courses.
  • Taking/have taken Continuing Education courses at Regis College.

  To restart the admission process, an Admission Counselor will guide the student through completing the Application Reactivation Form and submitting it to the Office of Undergraduate Admission.

  Please note:

  • The Reactivation form does not guarantee admission into Regis College or a student's preferred program.
  • A final decision will be made after a full review of student file.
  • If admitted, an Admission Counselor will reach out with an Acceptance Package and send information digitally to the student.
  • A student's merit scholarship as a reactivated student, is based on the merit they received previously, at the time of their first acceptance.

  If you were previously enrolled at Regis College as a full-time student and wish to return to the university, please contact the Director of Academic Advising at 781.768.8356.

Program Specific Criteria

• Diagnostic Medical Sonography

  Important Information for Transfer Student Applicants:

  Due to an increase in demand, spaces for the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program are unlikely to be available for Fall 2025 transfer students. This information will be updated by March 2025. In the meantime, you are invited to explore our other academic programs.

  Admission directly into the sonography program is for applicants who have completed the prerequisite criteria outlined below. Admission is based on performance in prerequisite coursework, spots available at the time, and clinical site availability.

  Applications will be reviewed each spring and summer semester for the following academic year, depending on the number of spots available.

During each fall term, Regis will admit a designated, pre-established number of qualified students based on clinical capacity into the Regis nuclear medicine technology program for the following fall semester. Those who meet the basic criteria for program admission, but who do not gain entry may be waitlisted and considered if an opening occurs.
